In this episode, we meet Dr. Rudolf, a professor in the Chemistry Department, who researches natural product discovery and biosynthesis. He explains how he found terpenoids, a compound responsible for the scent of many spices, in bacteria, instead of its usual location - plants. I really enjoyed filming this episode, so I hope you enjoy!
